   01/19/10  House  Introduced and adopted HJ-5

TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE D. W. DANIEL HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS VOLLEYBALL TEAM OF PICKENS COUNTY FOR A WINNING SEASON, AND TO CONGRATULATE THE PLAYERS, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR GARNERING THE 2009 CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to learn that the D. W. Daniel High School volleyball team claimed thirty-six wins and only three losses this year and won the state championship title on November 7, 2009; and

Whereas, on the way to the state victory, the Daniel High volleyball team defeated the Pickens High School Lady Blue Flames, the 2008 state champions, to win the regional competition for the first time in ten years; and

Whereas, in the championship game, the Daniel High Lady Lions battled out a 3-0 victory over the 2007 state champion Bluffton High Lady Bobcats; and

Whereas, the Lady Lions made the necessary digs, kills, blocks, and outside hits to overwhelm the opponent and bring home the state class AAA trophy; and

Whereas, in competition against all the state champions from Georgia, Tennessee, and South Carolina, the Daniel High Lady Lions pulled out another victory to win the 2009 Tournament of Champions held at Dorman High School, and senior Hayley Hoover, who plans to play volleyball for Anderson University in the fall, was named a first-team all-tournament player; and

Whereas, in a sport that requires speed, agility, and teamwork, the Daniel High School volleyball team has worked relentlessly for five years under the athletic leadership and experience of Coach Joy Stewart to produce a championship team. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognize and commend the D. W. Daniel High School girls volleyball team of Pickens County for a winning season, and congratulate the players, coaches, and school officials for garnering the 2009 Class AAA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Daniel High School Principal Sharon Huff and Head Coach Joy Stewart.
